KAVARNA

Kavarna is a Bulgarian town, administrative and economic center of the municipality of the same name Kavarna.
It is located in the middle parts of the northern Bulgarian Black Sea coast, south of Cape Kaliakra. The relief is flat, flat and hilly. Small beaches are developed along the picturesque Kavarna coast with a length of 42 km. A spacious artificial beach has been created on the shore. To the sea rises the inaccessible, with almost vertical slopes, Cape Chirakman. In the past, Chirakman crashed miles into the sea, but in a strong earthquake it collapsed and gradually the erosive action of the water shaped its current inaccessible appearance. On its flat plateau are preserved the ruins of fortress walls, ditches, churches, necropolises, where archeological excavations and research are still carried out.
The city was founded in the V century BC. by Greek colonists who stationed the Bison colony on the plateau of Cape Chirakman. In the III - II century BC. the Scythians temporarily settled. During these years, the city played an important intermediary role in trade between local settlements and merchants from the islands of Rhodes, Heraclea, Sinop, Egypt and others.
